Influence of intermolecular interactions on the electronic states and spectral and luminescent properties of bimolecular systems is analyzed. It is demonstrated that the spatial structure of single-electron states (molecular orbitals) must be analyzed in the initial stage of quantum-chemical study of this influence. The assumption that the overlap of molecular orbitals in contact complexes can be neglected is incorrect and leads to false conclusions about photophysics of such complexes.
